Patented .lune l'7, 1932 UNITED `STATES PATENT 1 OFFICE CLARENCE W. MOORE, VIROSLYN, PENNSYLVANIA,V ASSIG-NOR T'OI RITTER DIEINTAIIIT` MANUFACTURING COMPANY, INC., F IROClEElSTEUR',V NEW YORK, A CORPORATION OF DELAWARE FOUNTAIN riginal application iled November 30, 1926, Seria September 5, 1929.

In the application above identified there was disclosed a fountain cuspidor of novel construction and possessed of numerous advantages over the prior art. In its simplified and preferred form the cuspidor com- 4prised a unitary drainage and distributing head through which all of the water and waste of the cuspidor passed. A bowl was mounted on the upper end of the head, while `the lower portion of the head engaged with 20' a support housing drainage and water supply passages or conduits, while a branch eX- tended laterally and upwardly from the head carrying a tumbler bowl and its associated 425supply and drainage passages.

The objects of the present invention are; to improve the construction of drinking glass supply mechanism; to provide and improve drinking glass bowls; to provide in a cuspidor or the like, valve mechanism operable through movement or pressure of the glass; to provide a unitary tumbler'support and nozzle; to provide a drinking glass bowl and tumbler support of improved construction .wherein incidental leakage through the valve mechanism is unobtrusively carried ofi, and many other objects and advantages as Will become more apparent as the description proceeds.

In the accompanying drawing:

Fig. 1 represents a vertical section through a drinking glass bowl of modified construction, and through an associated drinkingglass supply valve,

Fig. 2 represents a vertical section through a modification of the same,

Fig. 3 represents a vertical section through a further modification of the same, and

Fig. 4. represents a fragmentary side elevation of the device shown in Fig. 3, showing GUSPIDOR serial No. 300,490.`

in dotted and full lines the positions to which the valve actuating device is movable.

Although the invention is primarily adapted to be supported Aupon cuspidors or the like, yet it is capable of general application. i

Upon the upper end of the tubular pedestal -or arm or the like,` D', a drinking tumbler bowl 197 is lmounted having a relatively large drainage outlet 198 communicating withthe branch or pedestal D. The foregoing is common to the several forms disclosed.

In Fig. 1, theV water supply pipe 2,00 has aA spring engagingweb 201a valve seat 202, and aguiding .opening 203. A vertically movable unitary, (preferably)y tumbler support and nozzle 204v terminates at its lower endf in the stem of-'a valve 205, slidably mounted in the guide 203, and normally seated by a spring 206 engaged between the valve and the web 201, the unitary element yincludes al ported passage 207 through which water' passes Vinto the nozzle when the valve is unseated, as by downward pressure from the tumbler. In this and the other modifications the water pipes may be'supported in any desired manner,A (not shown). y

In Fig. 2, the water pipe 208 has a valve seat 210, and a threaded guide 211, through which the ported valve 212, is threaded carrying atits upper` end the tumbler supply nozzle and support 213and arranged for seating vor ulnseating upon rotation of the valve by proper rotation of the tumbler through frictonal engagement withthe support or by rotating the nozzle. The water passes through passage 214. n

VIn Fig. 3, the water pipe 215 terminates in a valve Vchamber 216, having a seat 217, and

closed by the shouldered sleeve or guide 218.

A combined tumbler support and nozzle 220, l,

having cross-piece 221 on-the nozzle, terminates in an extension having a passage 225.

slidably mounted'in theV sleeve, and carries V Y mits water to the valve chamber, and through port'i224 in the sleeve to the passage 225.

1 No. 151,736. Divided and this `application led l Various modiications of these valves may occur to those skilled in the art, and it is to be noted thatdue to the formation and location of the parts, any slight incidental leakage that occurs during the `use of anyof the valves shown in Figsl to 4, inclusive, will be carried off unobtrusively through the drainage passage of the branch D.

rIlhe advantages of the invention will be apparent. Y l' I claim as my invention:

parallelism with the axis of said nozzle and having a mouth disposed vertically above the bowl, said nozzle, valve element and bowl comprising a unit arranged for movement under directing actuation by a tumbler to operate the valve to controlthe passage of water through the nozzle.

In testimony whereof, I aiiix my signature.
